It's not what's in the water, it's what they grow with it.

You take away the Republican imposed requirement that the post office has to prefund pensions 70 years in advance, something they rammed through because they hate working people, and the post office will do just fine

The left just wants to raise taxes until no one but the government has any money. After all, we're all too stupid to know how to govern ourselves so Uncle Sam has to step in and run our lives for us.

On a separate note, I've been having trouble finding the motivation to put down the remote and take care of myself. Shouldn't the government pay to have someone come to my home and take care of me? I deserve it because I'm not rich like this other guy.

Well, that and the many restrictions on what services the post office can offer, but yeah, the primary issue is the absurd pension requirement that was imposed on the USPS by congress.

I wish the Republican and Democrat Governors ( both party governors tend to end up in prison) in Illinois had decided to simply fund public pensions.

The OP's assertion was discredited in post #23 and still posters like you respond with fallacious theories.

What are you talking about??? You are the first to suggest that. And how can Postal service tax anything?

I on the other hand, would tax pollution of cyberspace. $1 for every post written with the ass instead brain.
